This is where you will complete your article evaluation. Please use the template below to evaluate your selected article.


 * Name of article: Isis King
 * Briefly describe why you have chosen this article to evaluate.

It needs editing and improvement.

Lead
Guiding questions

Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic?

Yes, it is clear and concise and gives good description for what it is that someone is about to read.


 * Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections?

Yes, because the article only focuses on basically one aspect of her life, the lead only contains the part of her life described in the article.


 * Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article?

No, but because the article is so short, the lead, which should just be basically a topic sentence, is actually a short summary of the entire article.


 * Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed?

Concise, short but that's because of how short the article is.

Lead evaluation (write out your thoughts here)
The lead is an appropriate length for the length of the article, it entails the topics to be discussed within the article, and it is quick and informative.

Content
Guiding questions


 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic?

Yes, the article's content is exactly what was said to be talked about in the Lead


 * Is the content up-to-date?

Yes


 * Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong?

There's no content that doesn't belong, but I think there could be more information included in the article about King.

Tone and Balance
Guiding questions


 * Is the article neutral?

Yes


 * Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?

No


 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?

No


 * Does the article attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another?

No, it just gives information about her career.

Tone and balance evaluation (write out your thoughts here)
I think it's a balanced enough article, there's not enough information for it to be unbiased.

Sources and References
Guiding questions


 * Are all facts in the article backed up by a reliable secondary source of information?

Most, there's some that go unsourced, and some of the sources come from sketchy sites or social media platforms.


 * Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic?

Yes


 * Are the sources current?

Yes


 * Check a few links. Do they work?

Yes

Sources and references evaluation (write out your thoughts here)
The sourcing and citing is okay, there's some information in the article that goes not cited, which leads me to believe that whoever wrote that part wrote from their own opinion or perspective, which should not occur when writing on Wikipedia.

Organization
Guiding questions


 * Is the article well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read?

It was clear and concise, but each of the subtitles was basically about the same thing-her experiences on America's Next Top Model.


 * Does the article have any grammatical or spelling errors?

Not that I've seen.


 * Is the article well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic?

Yes, it is broken down into the sections described in the lead.

Organization evaluation (write out your thoughts here)
Overall I think the article is organized well, I think there's room for improvement and for the addition of more information.

Images and Media
Guiding questions


 * Does the article include images that enhance understanding of the topic?

Yes, just one though


 * Are images well-captioned?

Yes, it describes her very well


 * Do all images adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations?

Yes


 * Are the images laid out in a visually appealing way?

Yes

Images and media evaluation (write out your thoughts here)
There's only one picture on this page, I think there could be and should be more representing her career.

Checking the talk page
Guiding questions


 * What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?
 * How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?
 * How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?

Talk page evaluation (write out your thoughts here)
The first thing that stood out to me was that one of the discussions was about somebody's opinion on which pronoun to use during the article when referring to King. It was handled well, but the initial question seemed to have some questionable motive to it given what was said.

Overall impressions
Guiding questions


 * What is the article's overall status?
 * What are the article's strengths?
 * How can the article be improved?
 * How would you assess the article's completeness - i.e. Is the article well-developed? Is it underdeveloped or poorly developed?

Overall evaluation (write out your thoughts here)
I think for the information in the article it was good. It was detailed when talking about ANTM, but that seemed to be the main focus of the whole article. I know that it's probably because that's what really started her career, but if then, this article should be titled Isis King along with ANTM, for this to be a biography about her, there should be more information about the different parts of her life. I wouldn't say it's complete, I'd say it's underdeveloped, and could use more material and information.

A Streetcar Named Desire (1995 Film)
Lead: It has a good lead, it's concise but gives a clear description of what it is that is about to be discussed further in the article.

Plot Synopsis: There is no plot synopsis, which needs to be added.

Cast: There is a good cast list, it seems that all the main necessary characters are in the list, there's a possibility that there are some trivial characters on the list that do not need to be.

Production: There is information on the side about the production, it's straightforward and seems accurate.

Release: Yes, the release date is on the site.

Reception: There's no information in the article about the box office, or anything about the reception of the public. There's one subtitle about an award it won but it's not very descriptive.

Others: There's no extra information, no mention of the theme or soundtrack, which should be added.
